I am looking at buying the computer described below, and one of the guys at work says that I will have all kinds of problems installing Linux on it because of the SCSI hard drive. Is this true? I'm not a hardware person at all and have never installed Linux on a computer from the ground up like this. Will it work on this system? Whadayathink?
